Background
It has long been a dream of my sister to enjoy an Alaska Cruise and had decided that this would be the perfect way for her and her husband to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. My brother and I, veteran cruisers, would join them. When searching for itineraries, my sister found the "Quilting for Christmas" cruise sponsored by Quilt Camps at Sea. Since my sister is an avid quilter, this would combine the sights of Alaska with her favorite hobby. Because of this targeted cruise, we didn't really explore other cruise lines and routes and went along with the group.
